If this means VIT will affect damage output (and hopefully enmity generation and parrying effect), I'm all about it. All that would be left is to catch some tanks up on tanking fundamentals.
SE forced us into this position by imposing heavy DPS checks and making weapon skills and self heals scale off of STR (attack power). In the current meta (as it's been discussed many times) you're effectively neutering yourself by running with any more VIT than what is absolutely necessary.

So yes, if they class lock STR accessories they should be doing something to compensate people who purchased accessories that they can no longer use.
